you have brake discs of a given size and a maximum amount of hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder.
what it will affect is the steering (change of trail/rake) and at max compression the ability to absorb a bump shock.
measure the amount of travel used with a cable tie around the fork, if you are using all the travel then either preload the spring or fit a firmer one until you have @15mm travel left after max compression.
but tbh they're a pig on stilts anyway :rollin
Makes sense fella.....just couldn't get it straight in my head. Tend to do all my main braking before a corner and maybe adjust mid corner with rear brake, weight transfer or throttle so mullers those Fazer Thous in the twisties.
Will check the amount of travel I use.
Pig on stilts :lol :lol . I actually love the look in a [Noggy style] Post apocalyptic, urban survival, cool, ride what you're happy with, everyone's different, you pays your money [End of Nog] way of putting it :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
